I am an expert at helping people change negative emotions, ineffective behaviors,and negative thoughts that interfere with making necessary changes to promote mental and physical wellbeing. My niche is helping people who have been diagnosed with Celiac disease, food allergies, sensitivities, and/or intolerances with the social, emotional, and behavioral aspects of changing their entire lifestyle around food. As a person living with Celiac disease, I understand that changing your diet requires much more than knowing what to eat and what to avoid. I help people look beyond food to help manage social anxiety and to learn effective communication skills for getting their needs met in relationships, at restaurants, and in a variety of other settings. I also help people to grieve the loss of once loved foods in order to increase acceptance.

My approach to therapy is a combination of talk therapy and body movement work. I provide a strengths-based and motivational interviewing approach, believing that the individual holds the answers and power regarding one’s own life. Together, we uncover the strength within by discovering what already exists but is underdeveloped. By adding the modality of body movement to coincide with an emotional concern, a client can both physically and emotionally feel a change. Being intellectually, emotionally and physically stimulated within a counseling session creates an atmosphere for greater change both inside and out. My emphasis is in work with adolescents, GLBT, depression, low self-esteem, anger and more. Please contact me through my website at www.templecounseling.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
